This being the April issue (or at least the March/April issue, anyway), I thought about doing something in honor of April Fools Day. I decided against it, because Anthro is still a fairly new kid on the block, and were still in the building a readership phase, to be honest. Heck, we havent even hit our first anniversary yet! So, with all due apologies to those of you who expected me to pull some kind of gag like Ive done with TSAT in 2004 and 2005, there aint no Anthro prank(s) this year.Next year is another matter entirely
Mind you, 1 April is still more than a month away as I write these words. This means theres still time to think up crazy stunts to pull on your insufficiently-suspicious buddies! Here are a few suggestions you might want to consider:

If youre at a banquet, talk to the entree.Interrogate: Reveal your troop movements at once, wretched avian!Converse: Nyeshta voar? [pause] Meszieud! Kasou! [pause] Sempa dkroan. [etc]Intimidate: We dont likeyour kind around here, Shell-boy.Comfort: Hang on! Dr. McCoy thinks he can still save you!Autopsy: From the coagulated proteins, we can deduce that the victim was subjected to great heatprobably immersed in boiling waterbefore the first incision was made 

Wear a fursuit in your daily routine. Act like theres absolutely nothing unusual about it. If/when someone gives you grief over the suit, then you notice that that guy isnt wearing a fursuit, and you give him static about the bizarre non-fursuit get-up hes wearing! The mindgame quotient of this prank is appreciably higher if the victim is dressed in utterly mundane clothing.

This ones for anybody who habitually drives in the carpool lane without a passenger: Leave an inflated balloon animal (the larger the better; at least 3 feet tall, and bigger if you can manage it) in the passenger seat of your victims car, wrapped in spare clothes so that its true nature isnt immediately apparent to the eye. With any luck, your State Troopers will do the rest

In the office: Sneak some furry art onto your victims hard drive, and rename the files with boring, mundane, business-type namesstuff in the general neighborhood of BDGT2Q06 is what you want. Select the art to suit your victim, but keep in mind that anything Wingerized is probably not a good idea.

No need to go further; if none of these four concepts inspires you, more would be a waste of time. Feel free to use/abuse/mutate/ignore any of these ideas, as you please. And if you come up with a particularly juicy prank-idea yourself, let me know, okay?
